    Thread for responding to transphobic comments

    Anyone looking to 'protect' children would certainly have a football ban pretty high on their priorities list. And yeah, she said pretty straightforwardly that she'd rather have her kid commit suicide than be transgender. That's messed up.

    Knicks vs Cavs 1st Round Series (Mitchell Getting *** Whooped by Brunson Season 2)

    I’d be fine with Murray at the ‘right’ price (haven’t though on what that price woild be). He’s a good player who would fit well.

    Knicks vs Cavs 1st Round Series (Mitchell Getting *** Whooped by Brunson Season 2)

    That only works if the player is only shooting 1 FT. Players shoot 2 on shooting fouls more often than not. 40% FG% = 40% FT% most of the time (on 2s, 60% for 3s). Foul drawing is a crazy valuable offensive skill (Harden level baiting sucks to watch though).

    Roster Building From Here - FA and Summer of 2023

    Ya know, after thinking about it some more, I'm not really hoping for any big moves in FA. I don't think we can land any of the cream, and I don't want to overpay for the 2nd tier. Sexton/Ochai/Lauri/Olynyk/Kessler and some rookies and I'm pretty happy with that going into next season. There's...

    KAT was great through 3, Conley was the man, Prince was okayish for what he is, but oof Ant.

    2023 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread

    Lots of former Jazz dudes to cheer for in this playoff run, and will be doing so until they run into one another. Minnesota/Cleveland/Atlanta the primary 3. Atlanta looking good game 1 for sure.

    The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

    Could be taken different times of year, your lake could just normally have a lot of year to year variation. Probably other reasons I don’t know.

    The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

    Probably a better thread for this - but to folks on the ground in Utah - does it feel like the Lake is drying up? I've seen some satellite photos, but unsure how accurate that is for the situation.

    At least the guns are okay

    I was talking about the Florida kid (13 I think).

    2023 NBA Draft Megathread

    Brice Sensabaugh is a guy I seem to like more than most, I'd consider him with Minnesota pick (or trading back a bit if we think we can pull it off). With our current 9/14/28 slots I'd take Wallace or Hendricks with pick 9, Hawkins or Sensabaugh with 14, and Podziemski with 28 (based off ESPNs...

    Your Mount Rushmore for…

    I did enjoy the 1st season of Cobra Kai quite a lot. The following one, not really, haven't seen after that.

    At least the guns are okay

    A) Storing your kitchen knives in a lock box is not a good sign of a healthy home B) This is America, assuming the kid isn't an idiot, yes, he could acquire a firearm with relative ease (I wish he couldn't, but he could). Is arrest the best course of action? I dunno, but yes it is a situation...

    Your Mount Rushmore for…

    Nature Bluey Taskmaster (UK) - plenty of great UK comedy shows considered here (Countdown, 8/10 Cats, Mock the Week, Would I Lie to You?, etc) Scrubs (considered Seinfeld for this slot) Just my personal favorites, no thoughts to 'greatness' or anything like that.

    Roe v. Wade is going down

    Some scenarios. Mother simply wants to end/prevent the pregnancy. A) Plan B. B) Mifepristone at say 7-8 weeks. C) Surgical abortion at ~12 weeks. Even you don't seem to really believe an embryo is a life with your wish-washy answer here. Wouldn't have needed all that hemming and hawing if...

    Roe v. Wade is going down

    AI - what is the appropriate punishment for all involved with an abortion in your opinion? Is it on par with Murder 1? If not, why not?

    At least the guns are okay

    We've done this whole thing, and the positive we've come up with is that there could be some situations in the deep wilderness where a gun is a bit more effective than bear mace - maybe, sources disagree. It's just so thoroughly underwhelming compared to the clear negatives of having a society...

    At least the guns are okay

    I think we're both aware that stat is basically impossible to gather. '# of deaths prevented in wildlife attacks by having a semi-auto in place of a lever action/bear spray or similar.' Oddly enough I'm related to one of the very few people where it may have made a difference -...

    At least the guns are okay

    Literally everything was grandfathered in if it was owned legally prior to the AWB (too hard to fight the constitution - article 1, sections 9 and 10). It's possible, but I doubt that was a case where it was smuggled into the country after the fact, merely one of the 10s of thousands already here.

    At least the guns are okay

    I don't want to downplay individuals fears, but fighting off wild animals does not strike me as a particularly serious concern for the vast majority of the country (rough wikipedia scan, so unsure on accuracy, but it is what it is - 4 fatal cougar attacks, 19 bear, 1 hog, 28 gator in the lower...
